Abstract:
A porous member is used in a liquid removal system of an immersion lithographic projection apparatus to smooth uneven flows. A pressure differential across the porous member may be maintained at below the bubble point of the porous member so that a single-phase liquid flow is obtained. Alternatively, the porous member may be used to reduce unevenness in a two-phase flow.

Abstract:
A source-collector device is constructed and arranged to generate a radiation beam, The device includes a target unit constructed and arranged to present a target surface of plasma-forming material; a laser unit constructed and arranged to generate a beam of radiation directed onto the target surface so as to form a plasma from said plasma-forming material; a contaminant trap constructed and arranged to reduce propagation of particulate contaminants generated by the plasma; a radiation collector comprising a plurality of grazing-incidence reflectors arranged to collect radiation emitted by the plasma and form a beam therefrom; and a filter constructed and arranged to attenuate at least one wavelength range of the beam.
Abstract:
A lithographic apparatus is described having a liquid supply system configured to at least partly fill a space between a projection system of the lithographic apparatus and a substrate with liquid, a barrier member arranged to substantially contain the liquid within the space, and a heater.

A lithographic apparatus is described having a liquid supply system configured to at least partly fill a space between a projection system of the lithographic apparatus and a substrate with liquid, a substrate temperature control system configured to provide a control signal to control a substrate temperature conditioning system based on a determined temperature; and a parameter control system configured to adjust a lithographic apparatus parameter, that is other than, or in addition to, the control signal, based on temperature information of the substrate and/or substrate table or on a measure derived from the temperature information.
